'Orange and Maroon Effect'
Virginia Tech family members across the country have united to declare this Friday, April 20th, an " Orange and Maroon Effect" day to honor those killed in the tragic events on campus Monday, and to show support for Virginia Tech students, faculty, administrators, staff, alumni, and friends. " Orange and Maroon Effect" was born several years ago as an invitation to Tech fans to wear orange and maroon to
Virginia Tech athletic events. We invite everyone from all over the country to be a part of the Virginia Tech family this Friday, to wear orange and maroon to support the families of those who were lost, and to support the school and community we all love so much. "

Thanks for posting that. Great idea!

While I am all for supporting and honoring those students and teachers who died at VT...it makes you wonder why we are not honoring the brave soldiers who have died during the current war in a similar way. All we see are names (occasionally) on certain TV shows. Is anyone wearing 'army fatigues' in honor of those who lost their lives in Iraq or elsewhere? It just seems we are quietly losing some great people each and every day and not many people stop to honor them........sadly.

God Bless those who die for our freedoms.
